The dew drops on the grass shows that this is early morning. The mud on the tip of the beak indicates that bird has started the day. However like all of us is it feeling a bit lazy starting work early in the morning and has taken a pause? :-)

Splendid image. It is the first time I am seeing an orange plumage near the beak. Is it a breeding plumage? Thanks for sharing.
